Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

”What? Did you say He Bing found the lathe?” Li Yu’s voice came from the earpiece, sounding surprised.

He immediately asked, ”Where is he now?”

Upon hearing Dapao say that he was right behind his car, he quickly responded, ”Have them follow, no, get him in your car.

We’re almost at the base now, once you arrive at the base take them into Weng City.”

Hearing Dapo’s response and that he had He Bing get on the car.

Li Yu couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably in the car; after searching for so long and sending so many people to look, finally.

Under the setting sun, they traveled with a load of food, heading towards the residual light.

This trip out indeed wasn’t in vain, securing so much food and the key equipment for bullet manufacturing, now they were finally getting somewhere.

Overjoyed, doubly happy.

Li Yu couldn’t help but hum a little tune, sitting in the passenger seat, enjoying the breeze, watching the landscape and buildings recede outside the window.

He felt extremely delighted.

Right now, his mood was simply fantastic.

...

Soon, they arrived at a gas station near the base.

Seeing this gas station meant they were very close to the base.

Five minutes later.

Li Yu and his group arrived outside the base.

Captain Luo and a few others had always been curious about what the base of such a powerful group would look like.

But he had never imagined that the Big Camphor Tree Base would be like this.

After countless reinforcements and heightening, the enclosure wall stood over ten meters high, as tall as a six-story building.

Standing underneath the wall, they had to look up.

What mattered was that such walls looked very long and, under the setting sun, resembled the ancient Great Wall.

Magnificent and dignified.

And full of safety.

Li Yu got out of the car, seeing the full shock in Captain Luo’s eyes.

Without mockery, he said to Captain Luo, ”Let’s enter from another gate. Then wait for me in the Outer City’s Weng City.

I will ask Ye Shishi to come out.”

Captain Luo nodded.

Immediately, they drove towards the side.

Originally, a Weng City was constructed at the main gate’s position, and later when the Outer City was built, they were integrated.

But there are two gates, not far apart.

On the wall, Second Uncle saw Li Yu and his group returning and opened the gate wide when their vehicles were still dozens of meters away.

Captain Luo looked at the seven or eight armed guards stationed on the wall.

He took a sharp intake of breath.

This base looked much stronger than what Li Yu had initially described.

The vehicles entered into the Outer City.

As they entered the Outer City, the duty personnel on the wall closed the gate.

Thud~

The concrete-embedded large iron gate landed on the ground, making a heavy sound.

This noise made it clear that the gate was very sturdy.

After entering the Outer City, Captain Luo realized it was quite spacious inside.

Firstly, they saw a vast expanse of crops, and some people were weeding, who straightened up to watch them as the convoy passed.

Apart from the rice fields, there were also some trees in the Outer City, most of which were originally there when they enclosed the land.

You should know, trees that can withstand drought and cold are exceptionally resilient, most of them were decades-old large trees.

There were at least a dozen of them.

When they first enclosed the area, Li Yu had directly instructed them not to cut them down, as keeping them was quite good for providing shade and shelter from the rain.

Of course, those near the wall were cut down.

Besides these, Captain Luo noticed several rows of buildings.

In front of the buildings, there was a row of water taps, behind which stood a large pillar with a solar-powered lamp hanging on it.

Under the sunset, everything appeared to have the feel of a haven away from the world.

After entering the Outer City, they didn’t stop but passed through another gate.

Click click click~

The second gate opened, and after everyone had entered, the person at the second gate closed it.

Captain Luo and the others entered Weng City, and the most intense feeling for Captain Luo right now was the strict security, not to be underestimated.

Heavy trucks were also parked here.

Li Yu got out of the car, then spoke to He Chao, who followed behind, ”Let the brothers take a rest. I will be busy for a while today. Tell the brothers that I have rewards for them tomorrow, but for today, have a good rest.”

In fact, for He Chao and the others, after having followed Li Yu to Safe City and then resolving many problems, their loyalty was already very high, especially since many of their children were in the base.

After hearing Li Yu’s words, He Chao didn’t refuse, simply nodding and saying okay.

Then he remembered something and said, ”Director Li, I want to go see my daughter.”

Li Yu patted him and said, ”Didn’t I tell you last time? You can now enter on your own, no need to report to me. You have your room in the Inner City, you’ve been in many times before.”

He Chao scratched his head with a smile and said, ”Alright.”

Li Yu shook his head and smiled, then left him be.

Let’s not mention that He Chao has always been loyal, managing the team in the Outer City.

Speaking of his daughter who is inside the Inner City, to him, a so-called slave to his daughter, his daughter is everything, and he’s entered many times very honestly.

He also couldn’t take his daughter out from the Inner City since there are guards stationed on the walls.

For He Chao, he also didn’t want his daughter to leave the Inner City, as it’s so dangerous outside.

But as for the education in the base, it’s quite realistic, suitable for the current situation, so they often organize, letting these age-appropriate children, in full gear, practically fight zombies.

Sometimes, under adult supervision, they even kill outside the walls.

Li Yu certainly doesn’t want to keep these kids of the base in an entirely safe environment without any resistance.

They must be made aware of the harsh realities outside the base in order to appreciate the beauty inside the Inner City, thereby sparking their desire to protect the base.

Education needs to start from childhood.

That’s why every time they have practical training, they are very cautious and always accompanied by adults, otherwise He Chao would be worried.

He was initially concerned but then thought of Li Yu letting his own cousins join, so he really had nothing to complain about.

Shaking his head, He Chao didn’t think any more and quickly led his brothers back to the Outer City.

On the way, he talked to his brothers about the rewards Director Li would give them tomorrow, and everyone was very happy.

According to their current points, they were getting closer to ninety points, and once they reached one hundred, they could pass the assessment and have an opportunity to enter the Inner City.

A reward?

He really didn’t know what the reward would be.

With the expansion of the base and thanks to the efforts of He Chao and his team, the amount of food Li Yu provided them each month also increased.

Recently, they no longer had to worry about food, something unimaginable a few months ago.

This is Li Yu’s mastery in managing people. He Chao and his large group were integrated in, which took time.

It couldn’t be rushed with high rewards; it had to be clearly regulated and accorded by agreement. Apart from the basic monthly food assistance, they also had to earn extra food by completing tasks.

This way, they wouldn’t become lazy.

Occasional additional rewards were surprises for them.

Just like before the apocalypse, paying employees a wage, the base salary shouldn’t be too high because once increased, it’s hard to reduce.

But bonuses could be given on top of a low base salary.

Bonuses can be cut any time, but the base salary cannot.

He Chao didn’t think much of it; he just really cherished his current life. Those who haven’t experienced hunger couldn’t imagine how painful it is.

Giving help during difficult times is a hundred times better than adding decorations to something already perfect.

Li Yu was the one providing pivotal help to He Chao and the others.

Besides gratitude, there was also reverence and admiration.

After He Chao and his brothers returned to the Outer City and briefly handled some matters, he hurriedly rushed to the Inner City to see his daughter.

...

Meanwhile, after He Chao left.

Li Yu instructed Second Uncle along with Yang Tianlong and others to accompany Captain Luo.

As for himself, he had a more pressing matter to handle.

At the main gate of Weng City, He Bing and some of his classmates entered Weng City.

Dapao was communicating with him, ”The lathe you were talking about, did you bring it?”

He Bing nodded and said, ”I brought a mini one, a German-imported 210 lathe, it’s right in the back of the pickup.”

Li Yu appeared at that moment and said to He Bing, ”Then let’s take it out and have a look.”

Seeing Li Yu, He Bing immediately said, ”Hello, Director Li, um, I’m getting it right now.”

He greatly admired Li Yu, who was not much older but had established such a formidable base, and he was very keen to join.
